Chapter 14 Desperate Blockade

The Wuhuan cavalry chased them about one mile away.

He ran thirty miles in one breath and followed the soldiers, but he still refused to give up.

Han Dang ran and said loudly to Huan Xuan: "If you run like this, you will have another twenty miles of war horses to lie down. Let's keep someone to stop them! At least one escape is one, so that you won't be taken away by someone and you won't even be sent back a letter."

Huan Xuan nodded and shouted loudly to Tang He who was running nearby: "Let's leave behind a blocking attack! If you take three horses away, you must rush back to Lu Longse to tell Cheng Guanwei that the Wuhuan people and the Xianbei people joined forces to attack Lu Longse tomorrow."

Tang He nodded nervously.

Han Dang was very pleased. Huan Xuan, the old friend, had a tacit understanding. Staying behind the scenes actually meant death! Among these thirty soldiers, Tang He was the youngest, only seventeen years old. Huan Xuan's arrangement was undoubtedly the most reasonable and humane.

Han Dang suddenly shouted at Tang He with a mighty look: "Say it again."

Tang He was startled and shouted instinctively: "A 10,000 army will attack Lu Longsai tomorrow."

Han Dang nodded with satisfaction, and then exchanged a glance with Huan Xuan. The two of them urged the horse to cross Tang He at the same time, handing him the reins on the left and right.

Huan Xuan took out a small ox horn from his arms and blew the sound of a trumpet ready to block. The scouts of the Han border army also learned to use the ox horn to communicate with the Hu tribe, which was convenient for the first time and made quick contact. The soldiers' horses immediately slowed down. Han Dang and Huan Xuan made a gesture to each other, and the two flew off the horse almost at the same time.

Tang He galloped away with three riders.

On both sides of the Luan River, the soldiers sat quietly on the horses, each of them seemed very calm. They seemed to have not noticed the coming fight and the coming God of Death, and were calm and composed - as if they were one with the world themselves.

Han Dang and Huan Xuan stood by the river and looked at the pursuers who were gradually advancing in the distance.

"Captain Tun, how do you plan to fight this battle?" Huan Xuan asked.

Han Dang did not answer, but directed everyone to ride their horses to the river.

"Look at the 50 steps from the grass to the river bank, there is obviously a one-person slope. Don't underestimate such a slope! Fifty steps can make the enemy's horses fall quickly and cannot impact us. And behind us is the Luan River. If they rush up hard, once they have no direct contact with us, they will inevitably rush into the river when the horses are extremely fast. They cannot make the horses reach the fastest speed and may fall into the river. The enemy will definitely not be willing to take a strong attack when facing this dilemma."

"If we can't rely on strong attacks on war horses, we can only take positions to attack. We have few people, but we can still not beat them, but we can find ways to make the enemy's more advantageous people into disadvantages."

The sound of horse hooves from the pursuers in the distance came as violently as a storm. Huan Xuan shouted anxiously: "Tell me what to do! The enemy is coming."

Han Dang took a casual look and continued to say to the soldiers around him: "Everyone turned his back to the river and arranged the twenty-seven horses into a semicircle in a group, forming a semicircular horse hoof formation. In this way, the thickness and radius of the horse hoof formation are just enough for our twenty-nine people to defend. The enemy attacks and defends to see who loses and who wins."

Han Dang looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Do you understand?"

The soldiers probably saw hope for survival or drew strength from Han Dang's confident smile. They suddenly felt energetic and shouted in unison: "I understand."

Everyone immediately tied the war horses together on the river bank according to Han Dang's requirements and formed a solid fortress. Due to Han Dang's detailed explanation, the soldiers knew the advantages and disadvantages of both sides, so they were full of confidence and were full of energy.

Han Dang then said to Huan Xuan: "As long as we keep until tomorrow, we will win."

"Why?"

"Tomorrow their troops will set off from Changyugouzi and officially launch a military operation to attack Lulongsai. It doesn't matter if we are there anymore! If they haven't killed us tomorrow, they will withdraw and follow the army."

"Why are you so sure they will launch an attack tomorrow?"

"Intuition." Han Dang said lightly.

Huan Xuan was anxious when he heard this: "You're guessing it?"

Han Dang couldn't help laughing when he saw his anxious look: "Of course I have to analyze the various situations."

At this time, the enemy's horn sounded clearly in the ears of both of them - the enemy finally caught up with him.

The cavalry of the Wuhuan people suddenly stopped a hundred steps away, and their centurion also realized that the defensive formations placed by the Han people against the Luan River could not be rushed with the iron cavalry at all. However, they could not accept it in their hearts to let them give up the advantage of the cavalry and fight with the enemy. Moreover, before approaching the strange formation, the losses of their soldiers must have been very large, which was a slope nearly fifty steps away.

The Wuhuan people hesitated on the grass a hundred steps away. The soldiers in the horse hoof formation slowly recovered from the initial tension, and the soldiers began to whisper.

Han Dang sat on the river bank and observed the movements of the other party from under the horse's belly.

The Wuhuan people began to re-arrange the formation, and in a moment they began to advance steadily with the sound of ox horns.

Han Dang shouted: "Brothers, the Wuhuan people are going to attack! Everyone prepare bows and arrows! Remember to have two people in one group, one group in one group in one person! Never let them break through the horse hoof formation."

The soldiers were busy for a while and then they found their own shooting positions.

The Wuhuan people advanced very quickly and only eighty steps in a blink of an eye.

Huan Xuan urged: "Shoot the arrow!"

Han Dang shook his head: "We have fewer weapons and need to be used for saving money! Wait until they get closer."

The Wuhuan people have already started shooting long arrows.

Huan Xuan shouted anxiously: "If we don't fight back, we will be shot into a hedgehog."

Han Dang shook his head firmly, "Be careful everyone! If you don't work, hide under the horse's belly! Hurry up."

After saying that, I got past it first.

The soldiers' movements were faster than rabbits, and they were all falling into the horse's belly in a blink of an eye.

The long arrows roared out, and the amazing strange screams came in a flash. Only the sound of arrows drilling into the war horses continued to be heard. The war horses neighed in pain and kept ringing. They became restless and some struggled to escape, but the reins of the horses were tied together and were tightly held by the soldiers, and they could not escape. The grass on the river bank was immediately filled with long arrows from the enemy.

The Wuhuan people immediately followed the second round. Because the two sides were too close, the power of this round was greatly reduced, and many arrows were shot into the river.

Han Dang was the first to cheer: "It's our turn! No matter whether it is a person or a horse, they will be shot down."

Twenty-nine people stood in different corners and pulled their bows and arrows.

The Wuhuan people tried hard to urge the horses to approach the enemy's horse formation through the slope earlier, so that the opponent's long arrows would also lose the effective distance to shoot. The Wuhuan people also wanted to shoot, but even if they shot the tall war horses, the arrows would just be nailed to the war horses. People of No. 150 could not deal with such a small group of people? No one thought it was not possible.

In everyone's expectations, China and South Korea finally shouted: "Cum..."

At a distance of forty or fifty steps, the long arrow shot was just a blink of an eye. The Wuhuan cavalry was unstoppable and immediately fell a large area from the horse. Several horses were shot, and the war horses rushed forward in pain, and then they were shot by more arrows, and the cavalry on the horse naturally became a living target.

More Wuhuan cavalry roared, kicking the horse's belly fiercely, and continued to rush up the slope.

Han Dang shot out his tenth arrow. He saw that the Wuhuan soldier who was caught was only ten feet away from him. The soldier had a beard that was much smaller than that of ordinary people. He was probably just a young man. He grabbed the long arrow that penetrated his chest with one hand and waved in the air in despair, as if he wanted to grab a life-saving straw. His body stretched out on the galloping horse's back, and then soared into the air and fell heavily to the ground.

"The inner circle of war horses lie down..." Han Dang turned around and ordered loudly.

Several soldiers standing next to the horse hurriedly grabbed the horse's reins and patted the horse's back, and the horse obediently lay down. The enemy would soon approach. If the space at the lower part of the horse was not blocked, the enemy's chances of raiding would greatly increase.

Han Dang saw the soldiers who died in battle at home, and the three of them were caught in several arrows in the open space in the middle. Although there were war horses as cover, some brothers still died.
